    Sony TZ feet and screen bezel rubbers - much demand?

    It seems that the TZ laptops seem quite prone to losing their self-adhesive rubber feet and screen bezel pads - mine is missing 8 in total.

    I'm looking at replacing them and can get quantity discount if I order enough. The question is is there sufficient demand for me to shift the excess should I order a surplus? Does anyone on here require any of these parts?

    I'm currently looking at prices of around £2.25ea for the small rectangular screen bezel rubbers and £4.50ea for the larger rectangular feet for the bottom. Seems pretty pricey but I've not seen these parts offered any cheaper in small quantites (has anyone else?)..

    Cheers,

    Mike

    I sent mine in recently for the 2008 overheat recall. (i was late to the party). Anyway, I was missing one rubber on the bezel. I put a post it on the screen pointing to the missing rubber with the word "please."

    When i got it back, the rubber was put in. If you have any service issues, you could get it done that way.
